Aaron and Bob Gilman formed Intersea Fisheries Ltd. and Universal Seafoods in
1975 with Nippon Suisan. The business plan was to process and market Alaska
Crab Products throughout the world. In 1985, the Gilmans sold their interest in
Universal Seafoods and concentrated their efforts on Intersea Fisheries Ltd.
Having retained Intersea and having offices in New Jersey and Seattle, the
company pursued marketing and processing of West Coast Seafood items as well as
importing products from Europe and Asia for distribution in the United States.
In 1990, the West Coast office was renamed Intersea Fisheries West, Inc.
allowing John Martin and Brian Glidden to purchase a minority interest, in
partnership with the Gilmans in the newly formed company. Just 6 years later,
on May 1st, 1996, Martin and Glidden purchased the corporation in its entirety
from the Gilman's.

Although the seafood business has gone through some major changes over the
years, our company has focused on the basic philosophy it was founded on: Treat
everyone with the utmost professionalism. Be honest about the quality of the
products you are offering. Be competitive, always keeping quality as a first
priority. Listen to our customers thoroughly in order to anticipate their needs
as their business's change.
We are proud to have been in business for so long and enjoy all of the great
relationships we have developed over the years.
